Choosing the right battery is crucial - it determines how long we can enjoy water escapades without having to return to shore to recharge.
Battery capacity, expressed in ampere hours (Ah), is a direct indicator of how much energy we can 'take with us' on the water. A higher Ah figure means that the device runs longer on a single charge, which translates into greater range and the ability to explore further afield without worrying about a sudden lack of power. This is particularly important when planning long expeditions to open water, where access to a power source may be limited.
Battery voltage also plays an important role as it affects the overall performance and speed of the board. The value should be chosen appropriately for the motor - too low a voltage may not deliver enough power and too high a voltage may result in overloading the system. The compatibility of the battery with the board is therefore essential for optimum performance and safety.
Nowadays, battery manufacturers rely on innovations such as battery management systems (BMS) that monitor the condition and performance of the cell, ensuring it is protected from overheating, overcharging and deep discharge - all of which can significantly reduce battery life. What's more, modern batteries are often equipped with fast-charging features, which is invaluable when time is of the essence.Driven by power: electric board motors in watersportsThe motor is the heart of an electric board and the main factor that drives watersports enthusiasts to ever greater feats and adventures. Choosing a motor for your board should not be a hasty decision - it must be thoughtful and tailored to your individual needs and the conditions in which it will be used.
The power of the motor, expressed in watts (W), is the primary indicator of its performance. The higher the wattage, the more speed and thrust the board is able to achieve, which is particularly important in water sports where dynamics and responsiveness to changing water conditions matter. However, it is worth bearing in mind that higher power also means faster battery consumption, so the choice of motor should be balanced with battery capacity.
Motors for electric boards must also be reliable and durable, able to withstand long hours of use in changing, often demanding conditions. Resistance to salty seawater, sand and other external factors is absolutely crucial. In addition, in the face of increasing environmental awareness, motor manufacturers are paying attention to their energy efficiency and eco-friendly operating profile.
The motor should also be easy to operate and maintain - water sports often require quick decisions and action, and complex technology should not stand in the way of the enjoyment of the board. Brushless systems are gaining popularity for their quiet operation, reduced friction and extended lifespan, which translates into comfort and peace of mind while on the water.Tuning your board: personalisation and replacement partsPersonalising your electric board is a process that takes the user experience to a whole new level. Whether you're an enthusiast of gliding through the waves at high speed or you appreciate the calm traversing of the water, the ability to customise your board to suit your personal preferences is invaluable.
Spare parts are fundamental to the tuning and maintenance of any board. From fins that improve manoeuvrability, to a variety of grips that enhance comfort, to safety features for the electronics, all contribute to the performance and safety of the board. In addition, accessories such as LED systems not only enhance aesthetics and visibility after dark, but also increase user safety.
Personalisation can also include changing the look of the board, making it a unique piece of equipment that stands out from the rest. Using specialised water-resistant decals will allow you to express your individual style and give your board extra protection. On the other hand, adjusting the seat (if the board is a sit-on-top type) can significantly increase comfort on longer trips.
The selection and replacement of spare parts should be done with care. It is important that the parts are compatible with the board model and that they are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations or by specialists. Improperly selected or fitted parts can lead to damage to the board and even accidents on the water.Speed and performance: how to choose the right motor for your board? The choice of motor for an electric board is crucial for its speed and performance. Above all, the motor should be chosen for the type of activity you plan to pursue - different parameters will be important for calm water tourism, others for dynamic wave surfing.
Motor power is key - expressed in watts (W), it tells us how fast the board will be able to move through the water. Higher wattage means potentially more speed and a better ability to negotiate stronger water currents. However, a higher wattage motor will also consume battery power more quickly, which can reduce the life of the board on a single charge.
The efficiency of the motor affects how efficiently the board uses energy. Motors with high efficiency will convert a higher percentage of energy into movement, rather than losing it to heat. Brushless systems are often more desirable in this aspect due to their efficiency and lower energy consumption.
Equally important is the durability and resistance of the motor to external conditions - it must be able to withstand not only contact with water, but also sea salt, sand or fine dirt. Water resistance is crucial to ensure long-term operation without the risk of damage from water ingress.
The weight of the motor can also play a role, especially if you plan to transport the board frequently. Lighter models are easier to carry, but may offer less power, which is a trade-off to consider.
The compatibility of the motor with the board is another important consideration - make sure the model you choose will fit your board, and that its power and voltage are suitable for your battery. Some boards have special mounting systems that require a dedicated brand motor.
Professional installation - it is recommended that motor installation is carried out by professionals or with strict instructions from the manufacturer. Incorrect installation can not only jeopardise the performance of the board, but also the safety of the user.Compatibility and installation: find the perfect accessories for
your electric boardFinding accessories that are compatible with your electric board is no less important than choosing the board itself. Compatibility is not just about aesthetics - it has a direct impact on the functionality, safety and overall performance of your water equipment.
When starting the accessory selection process, the first step should be to read the technical specifications of your board. The manufacturer will usually provide a list of accessories recommended or dedicated to your model, which is the starting point for further research. The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer are invaluable, as they contain information on the type and size of connectors, as well as the technical parameters that the components should meet in order to work properly with the board.
When choosing accessories, it is important to focus on products from reputable brands that are known for producing high-quality equipment. The materials used to manufacture the accessories should be resistant to water conditions and UV radiation to ensure long-lasting use. Water resistance certifications are a key indicator to look out for, especially when purchasing electronics such as GPS, echo-sounders or alarm systems.
Installing accessories should be simple and intuitive. Many electric board accessories are designed so that installation does not require specialised tools or lengthy labour. This is particularly important if you plan to frequently modify your board configuration depending on the type of water activity you are undertaking. Velcro, buckle or magnet attachment systems are popular solutions that allow you to quickly change your equipment without compromising its stability.
Consulting with professionals can be invaluable, especially when we are unsure of what accessories will be best for our board model. Professionals can also advise on modern technological solutions, such as tracking apps or systems to enhance user safety.
Testing accessories in real conditions is another key step. Even if accessories appear to be compatible and have been fitted correctly, only practical use on the water can verify their true value. Pay attention to how accessories affect board balance, speed and ease of manoeuvring.
